It clearly was mans fault back then. anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist
well to be fair, i had one of those GM cars with the ignition switch issue. the only thing is to me it was not a bug but a feature. I could start my car, lock it back up with it running and keep the key on me. this is great on days like today that are -20 with the wind. (not as nice as a remote start obviously but still)
If you cant drive and focus on driving simply because they key pops out of the ignition, well you got bigger problems in life anyway

Before anyone asks: we've been down most of the day because of a disk that went bad in one of our servers. Siteops has been slaving away at a lengthy restore, and hopefully we're good to go, now. Apologies!

It was more than a simple hardware failure -- the storage cluster software we're using had an issue that not only obliterated data, but managed to take out its own repair functionality. We had proper backups and didn't lose anything permanently, but had to do a much larger rebuild than if a disk just died.
i went from under 20 grand a year to 40 grand a year only 2 months ago. 12 grand on a 4 week vacation??? I cant tell you the last time i got a vacation.
yes, most LED lights for that have multiple spectrum involved, they like different spectrum for different points of growing anyway so it really works out
you made a statement that you dont like him for pandering to X. I point out other people who pander to A,B,C, and D.
explain to me how this is a false equivalence?
If you were standing by your statement of i dont like him because he panders, you would have had no problem admitting that the other side panders to a large group of people as well.
as for childish responses, Im not sure what else to call your non response
we should also take into consideration his voting record. something you rarely ever hear anyone talking about is how people are actually voting on things. That would paint a clear picture of who someone is
why is this modded down? its a legit question to be asked. I learned the same way as you coming up about tech (im more of a networking guy than programming) Ive sat in classes, and ive done it on my own (cisco classes and others) and I found benifits to both
Learning on my own, there was less stress to get things done, which is a double edged sword. While I was free to do what I wanted, I had to have the mentality to keep myself on track though.
on the other hand in class, it made it easier to simply ask for help when i was stuck on something. and in my case, having access to actual cisco hardware vs emulators made a huge difference as well
Hutchinson learned last December that the state has only 6 qualified instructors to teach CS to high school students, so it's envisioned that the courses will be offered online through Virtual Arkansas ("where AR kids are Our kids").
I dont see a problem, I see a job opportunity for a number of people
do you remember the first batch of water saving toilets? they were a disaster and you would have to flush them 4 times to flush fully. While most of those kinks have been worked out there was a good 5 year period where you were mandated to buy low flow, but they didnt work. the work around was to cut the pipe in the back allowing the tank to fill fully, but its not something that should have even happened
He is rightfully upset that the government would mandate the type of toilet one uses.

not by much
.....sarcasm???? (i hope)

the correct term is "normal"
they are taking a play right out of al sharptons playbook
most likely the problem exists within the minority communities themselves.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. but we cant talk about that or we are sexist or racist.

thanks for the info, ive been confused all day with the static page at work, i thought maybe they got sick of me on here!
sure, dont work, no money. your choice
i went from under 20 grand a year to 40 grand a year only 2 months ago. 12 grand on a 4 week vacation??? I cant tell you the last time i got a vacation.

look at my name... i agree with you
having said that, if a company wants to be that way why work for them to begin with, you have choices on who you work with
if its within the rules written, its not misleading, cheating or defrauding, by definition.
get the govt to write simple readable rules to everyone, and the issues would resolve themselves.
do you recall the outrage over the baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding?
the outrage would be there if people discriminated on you for hiring a black person today as well
its not the 50s no more
